USNews.com used thousands of data points to measure each state and each states quality of life. Things like Health Care, Education, Economy, Opportunity, Infrastructure, Crime, Fiscal Stability & Quality of Life were all examined.

Wyoming was not in the top 10, but mostly because our state is lacking in 3 different areas - Health Care (rank 33), Economy (rank 47) and Infrastructure (rank 36th). Outside of those three categories, Wyoming ranks near the top in each of the remaining categories.
